Alvecote Priory

Shuttington, United Kingdom · built 1101

Alvecote Priory is a ruined Benedictine priory in Alvecote, Warwickshire, England. The site has been scheduled as an ancient monument. Now very little remains of the priory: most of the walls have been eroded, but a fairly high wall remains on one side. The main entrance arch is the most impressive feature, still standing at around 20 feet (6 m) high. The attached dovecote also survives; however both the ruined priory and the dovecote are on the Heritage at Risk Register due to vandalism and water damage.
